Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3231600A2] A method of making a light weight component (28) is provided. The method including the steps of: forming a first metallic foam core (11) into a desired configuration; applying an external metallic shell (20) to a discrete exterior surface (52) of the first metallic foam core after it has been formed into the desired configuration; arranging the first metallic foam core to be adjacent to a second metallic foam core (11) also formed into a desired configuration to form a desired pre-form shape, wherein an applied external metallic shell (20) located on a discrete surface (52) of the second metallic foam core is adjacent to the external metallic shell applied to the discrete exterior surface of the first metallic foam core; and applying an external metallic shell (20) to an exterior surface of the desired pre-form shape.
